Learn more about our amazing guest: Born Sherard Duvall in the Ridgewood neighborhood of Columbia, S.C., at 8 years old, “Shekeese” discovered his love for filmmaking, turning a personification tale about a day's journey of a stamp into his first script. But it was Hip-Hop that first captured his heart after his mom gave him a hand-me-down fisher price record player and a 45” of LL Cool J's Go Cut Creator Go - lying down in the bathroom near the space heater with headphones on, he became a child of hip-hop culture. At 15, he began his hip-hop career, first djing basement and backyard parties for high school friends and sometimes during lunch, then after purchasing his first pair of Technics 1200s at 16, Shekeese Tha Beast was born. Exploding on the scene in 1996, his senior year of high school, at 17 he began djing first on Columbia's WWDM then Hot 103.9FM, going on to DJ on several radio stations along the east coast from New York to Florida. He released several mixtapes and made his first appearance on BET with Dj Shakim at SC State's Homecoming and MTV the same year on the infamous “Spring Break” filmed in Myrtle Beach. In 1998, in his freshman year at the University of South Carolina he met Dj Kingpin and the two started the NonStop Hip-Hop 2-hour radio show on WUSC 90.5FM. The radio show evolved into “NonStop HipHop Live!” where Shekeese and Kingpin would hold weekly events showcasing hip-hop culture. It was during this time that Shekeese hooked up with SC Hip-Hop juggernaut Fat Rat Da Czar, becoming his manager and DJ. Eventually Czar, along with his longtime business partner LJ Chisholm, became part of NonStop Hip-Hop Live, the crew that established the nonprofit Love Peace and Hip-Hop in 2013. Love Peace and Hip-Hop's World Famous Hip-Hop Family Day became one of the largest festivals in South Carolina music history, bringing over 20,000 attendees annually to Columbia's Main Street. It was in 1998 as a African-American History minor and Media Arts Film major that Shekeese first started exploring film as a creative expression. After graduation in 2001, he took a job first as Production Assistant at Columbia's Mad Monkey, then in 2004 as an editor at Genesis Studios in Cayce, South Carolina. At Genesis he began to grow his filmmaking career; becoming an accomplished editor, director, and producer for commercial and documentary projects for VH1, Discovery Channel, ESPN,the American Cancer Society and many more. In 2009, Shekeese transitioned to filmmaking full time, adding Media Literacy and Film Education to his skillset. In 2013, he became the Director of Media Education at the Nickelodeon Theatre in Columbia, SC. During this time Shekeese began to become more involved with community work, serving on boards for the Columbia Economic Development Corporation, The RAM Education Foundation and The City of Columbia Board of Zoning Appeals. He has served on advisory committees for SCETV, Historic Columbia, The North Columbia Business Association, and the Justice 360 Death Penalty Resource. Shekeese is also a 2022 SC Arts Commission Fellow, a 2023 Aspen Global Leadership Fellow, a 2021 Liberty Fellow, a 2016 Riley Fellow, a 2016 Leo Twiggs Arts Leadership Scholar, 2015 South Carolina 40 Under 40 and a 2014-2015 American Graduate Champion. While continuing to satisfy his creative passion with art, music, film, and education projects, in 2012 he established OTR Films with guidance from his longtime partner turned entrepreneur FatRat Da Czar. In 2017, he launched OTR Media Group, a nonfiction entertainment, media literacy, and media strategy house that works with businesses and organizations that want to experiment with new ways of seeing and sharing the human experience through the moving image. Today, Sherard “Shekeese'' Duvall is a film and messaging professional who resides in Columbia, S.C. He's focused on nonfiction storytelling, media literacy education, media strategy, and is an ambassador of South Carolina Hip-Hop culture. He is currently in development of his documentary shorts series Blaktastik: Celebrating South Carolina's Creative Black Culture.

"For the past couple months I’ve been collecting a ton of different tracks, in a multitude of genres. For this set I’ve put together some of the techno tracks that have a more sinister feel. All these tracks have a wonderfully dark tone about them that pulls at your heartstrings. Some of my favorites from this set are Pig & Dan - Chemistry (I’ve seriously been trying to find the right set to put this in since it came out!), Nicole Moudaber’s remix of That’s Not Happening by Coyu and Ramiro Lopez, Vinicius Honorio - Bright Light, Jon Gurd - Pizzaha, and Skober’s two tracks at the end; the remix of Forged In The Heart of A Laserbeam by Spektre and his own original Satisbeat. This set I think showcases some of the best new dark techno that’s been coming out as of late. I really hope you enjoy!" - Jeff Devoe High Quality Download: http://bit.ly/chromacast-43-jeffdevoe Pictured: Black Crow (Corvus capensis) ———— Jeff Devoe is a Los Angeles based electronic music producer.

"It is so nice to connect back with my first electronic musical love, Drum & Bass/Jungle. I love all of it. Every kick, every snare, every nasty bassline, every subgenre. DnB/Jungle has been infused with my heart and soul for nearly 20 years. This habit is never going away. I’ve been buying a bunch of new stuff lately. There’s so much goodness out there right now. This mix has a bunch of new tracks that I really love, mixed in with some classics. It snakes from big mash-up warehouse style tracks to new skool jungle jump up, to heart wrenching tear jerkers. Take a hit of this and you’ll never turn back!" - Jeff Devoe High Quality Download: http://bit.ly/chromacast-31-jeff-devoe ———— Jeff Devoe is a Los Angeles based electronic music producer.

October 7th was a special night for Chromacast as we presented a piece of what was in our hearts to the Downtown LA community. We are incredibly grateful to all that came out. The vibe was palpable all night long thanks to you! Last week we were able to share Jeff Tovar’s incredible opening set. The heavy momentum from Tovar’s set catapulted the night forward. Jeff Devoe took the reigns after Tovar and laid down a mix of house, tech house and progressive house that kept the energy flowing.
